Home – Coming Home.

On an excellent Realtors blog, it asks: “…what HOME means to you…?”

Heart Reply is: – An open door of unconditional loving embraces …for life that always sustains it.

One of the words that they use too: sanctuary.

Home- Coming Home …it is what we live for eternally. 

Our Fathers house, “He prepares a place for us…”  HOME:  An open door of unconditional loving embraces for life, that always sustains it. <>< Unbridled (can’t spell or sure of the word) comes to mind too.

In pondering this/these, think of opposites too, and an Antonym of home, “end friendship,” or “closed door”.  These first two words simply don’t belong together, a sad oxymoron in itself.  Must be why feels unnatural to do.

When at a Crossroads in life… may ask the above of us, and a natural reply is that it doesn’t ‘feel’ right to do.  This is depending of course upon the reasons or whys, in any and all; a case to sustain life for the ‘best’ course need always apply that serves and gives more than it takes. At least that is this hearts take.

Funny, that course seem to always bring us back HOME.  This particular home, of which I live has been raised up from the ashes I believe so that from it may give.  Cause to worry comes into play, when insurmountable repairs are needed, and emergency expenses come into play… and yes, space for borders and open door whether or not contributing to expenses.  Again, open door is never to enable irresponsibility on either part, nor is to cause worry. Self lecture here, sorry. 

Ok… so

Alas, this morning am reminded this house HAS been raised up from the ashes more than once because it is – Gods home for all OF this household far off and near; whom God knows and will call.  Therefore, OPEN is the door.  Give, as have been given too and exceedingly more.

Do NOT worry. “work hard with your own hands.  Mind your own business” “and as far as it depends on you, be at peace with all” –paraphrase from memory Cor.????

In searching came to 2Cor 9:6  Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need you will abound in every good work.  As it is written: “He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever.” Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.  You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.  This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of Gods people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. (Through to 14) …15 Thanks be to God for HIS indescribable gift.

And yesterdays bookmark, “The Widows Offering” for further perspective: Luke 21:1-4.  As He looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.  He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.  “I tell you the truth”  He said,  “this poor widow has put in more than all the others..  All of these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on” <><<><<>< Next on to 2 Cor. 8: 10-12.  12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. <><<><<><  So, by ones means.  Why mercy and compassion and love NEEDS to lead.  There the heart is measured.  “Where your treasure is, is where your heart is also” 

 Sincere giving heart motivated solely by love and caring as gift given is enormous treasure with no needed monetary measure.

HOME defined… indeed… and yes also faith in God’s Divinity… life’s full circle lived out loud where we, from the beginning are a part of His plan.  “Be not afraid.” for all given of pure heart, full circles itself in all that we have and knowing the blessing of all that is needed is always supplied.

Prayer: You know the needs even here my Lord.  By faith may trust all shall enter that are in need to and as need – God sent, Godspeed.  Thank you God for the ability to tithe and for the ability to shelter.  It is by Your Gift, Your Love, Your Grace that any and all things are here.  Give as have been given… indeed.  May carry on and NOT WORRY.  You supply the work and the seed and the ability to heed.  Surrender, Trust and Obey. Thank you God for reminding me.   Respect the Amen In Him.
